Almond Butter Oat Bites

Nutrition per serving (estimate)

Why we like it

Almond butter and maple syrup bind the oats with no baking, and chocolate chips make them feel like a treat. Almonds contain vitamin E, and oats and flax add fiber. Easy to pack as a snack.

Ingredients

• 150g rolled oats
• 100g almond butter
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp flaxseed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Method

1. Add all ingredients to a large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly — it will be sticky. Use clean hands if easier.
3. If mixture is too dry to hold together, add 1 tsp more maple syrup or almond butter.
4. Refrigerate mixture for 30 minutes — this makes rolling much easier.
5. Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball (approximately 12 balls).
6. Place on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before eating.
8. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
